Location & what to see

Hotel Folen is located in the neighborhood behind Milano Centrale station, one of the liveliest and busiest areas of Milan, filled with bars, restaurants and businesses open until late in the evening. The street, Via Giovanni Battista Sammartini, is just steps from the tracks but far enough to remain quiet at night.

Milano Centrale station is about 100 meters away, while the Stazione Centrale metro stop is 350 meters away: from here, a few stops take you to both the historic center and the nightlife districts. Porta Garibaldi station and the Porta Nuova district, with its contemporary architecture, are about 1.3 km away, as is the Bosco Verticale, one of the symbols of Milan’s recent architecture. Linate Airport is 9 km away, easily reachable by taxi or bus.

For those who want to spend a few hours on culture, the Pinacoteca di Brera is 2.8 km away, while the GAM Milano, the Gallery of Modern Art, is about 1.7 km away, ideal for a walk in the Indro Montanelli Public Gardens. The Duomo and Piazza del Duomo are about 2.8 km away, as is the Sforza Castle and the nearby Sempione Park, perfect for an outdoor break in both summer and winter. Guests staying here can also easily reach the Navigli area or the Brera district by metro, without having to walk too far from the station.
